Saint-Édouard Church

On December 14, 1895, Monsignor Édouard-Charles Fabre erected the parish and applied to the Archbishop of Montreal for the construction of a temporary Chapel on the Saint Denis Street along with the presence of a resident priest.

The Saint-Denis Street chapel replied to the request a few years later due to the rapid population growth at the end of 19th century.

In 1901, the parishioners decided that the construction of a church and a Presbytery was necessary, and chose the architect Joseph-Arthur Godin [fr] to prepare the plans of the base.

The limestone was extracted from the Martineau Quarry where Père Marquette Park is now located.

In the mid-1970, architect John Bland restored the colors and designs of the altar of celebration and the ambon in a contemporary manner.
